The research of  the Department of Molecular Biology is focussed on the molecular analysis of cellular signal transduction mechanisms and their significance for normal biological processes and pathophysiological phenomena such as cancer.

Several years ago the research spectrum of the Department was expanded by the establishment of independent research groups that pursue the development of protein-protein interaction inhibitors (Thorsten Berg), the investigation of actin signaling (Guido Posern) and the analysis of cellular protein kinase regulation by proteomic approaches (Henrik Daub).
